Houthis pose great danger to the world, says Yemen foreign minister

The Houthi rebel group is a threat to the whole world, Yemen’s foreign minister said on Wednesday.

“The whole world, with the exception of the regime in Tehran and its tools, has become fully aware of the danger of this militia and the extremist ideas and ideologies it represents,” Mr bin Mubarak said.

“Its danger is not only to Yemen, but to the region and the world.”

But Mr bin Mubarak said the statements are not “sufficient” to prevent the Houthis from conducting future attacks.

“Rather, clear messages must be sent that the international community will not allow a rogue group to tamper with the security of the region and that it will not escape punishment for these crimes,” Mr bin Mubarak said.
